Zephyr Cafe

Squamish & Around


No piece of furniture looks like it had the same previous owner at this unashamedly retro cafe in downtown Squamish, from the milk churns posing as barstools, to the wall-mounted unicorn’s head that might have belonged to an armored horse in the Hundred Years’ War.

Pull up a seat (or milk churn) for breakfast burritos, vegetable lasagna or coffee with sweet accompaniments and then disappear outside to catch a few rays in the reconfigured bathtub.
